Clemson picked up another commitment Sunday when ATH TJ Green (6-2 189) of Sylacouga, AL made his pledge at the conclusion of his official visit. "I'm real excited about it," Green said. "It's a winning program and I'm coming into a team you know that's going to win and try to get a national championship, that's what they are getting close to." Green said he will start out on kick returns and the coaches will later decide if he will be a receiver or safety though he said most colleges talked to him most about playing receiver. Last season he averaged over 22 yards per catch with 9 touchdowns. He also had 25 tackles with 4 interceptions returning one for a touchdown. Green had been committed to UAB prior to this weekend's visit. He also visited there and Cincinnati. He was also recently offered by Auburn but said that won't be a threat to Clemson and he's firm with his commitment. He's the 18th commitment for Clemson's 2013 class.
